Dear Sir

Re: Important issues requesting your immediate attention and consideration.

• Special Promotional Exercise from Assistant/Sr. Assistant to AO (Micro Office In-charges).
• Request for Reserve for contingency under Sr. Assistant Promotions.

Its heartening to note that our  corporate office has initiated and completed the special promotional exercise of  Class III employees  to Scale I officers to be posted as MICRO office in-charges zone wise and its equally disheartening to note that few of the promotees  who could not accept and report to the place of postings owing to their genuine reasons and hardships  were denied  the opportunity to take part in the ensuing two promotional exercises invoking the refusal clause in the promotional policy.

Its not out of place to specify and submit that one Mr K Narasimha Rao working as Micro Office–in-charge  of NUZIVID was also denied the opportunity to take part in the ensuing two promotional exercises.  His wife is working in State Govt which cannot be transferred. When the reasons are genuine and denying the opportunity in a growing organization like ours may not augur well with the loyal and senior employees,  toiling without any elevation and financial benefits despite putting 20 and odd years of service.  We believe that majority of the cases are of genuine in nature and hence requires your humane consideration in the interest of organization which would boost up their morale and  rededicate themselves for the welfare of all concerned.

Even, it is pathetic in regard with the promotional policy within Class III.   Assistants who were recruited during early nineties, aged nearly 50s and still looking for a first promotion is empathy denied by the corporate management. At this point of their career, not reporting to the place of their posting on promotion should not be viewed as refusal of promotion but to be viewed as a hapless and helpless individuals  ( Mr U Ramakrishna and Mrs. S Vijayalakshmi ) who could not avail the long awaited elevation due to insurmountable circumstances.    Over this, your stricture not to permit them to take part in the coming exercise is more devastating than their forgoing their long cherished elevation in our organization.

We strongly believe that HRM in any organization is meant to motivate and make every one inclusive in achieving the organizational goals but not to be repressive and relenting. As a discretionary authority, we look forward for your humane approach on this issue. It is to submit that our good office took a wise stand in the earlier exercises and permitted  those who could not report in promoted cadre at their genuine representations which was considered a well managed move when our own promotional policy is mired with several deficiencies. 

Hence, we expect the same consideration during this year also by giving a well deserved opportunity to the employees who would be more mutual and attached to the organizational goals and targets.

Please consider our above two just  requests with human touch so that our Organisation flag would always be in flying colours.  Long live “New India”.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully
